Fourniture IV
Compound stop, or mixture comprised of Principal tones. Each note
played produces four distinct pitches at octave and fifth relationships to the
key being pressed. The mixture should never be used without stops of
lower pitches. The Fourniture IV is typically added to Diapason or Flute
ensembles, or to a reed chorus.
